In a statement shared on social media, Miura’s family announced Tuesday that he “passed away suddenly” on Oct. 26 after battling acute leukemia since mid-September.

Miura doubled as both a professional mixed martial artist and boxer, competing mostly in his native Japan.

American fans may remember Miura (13-8) from his five appearances in WEC during the late 2000s. That included a fourth-round TKO loss to then-welterweight champion Carlos Condit on Aug. 3, 2008 at WEC 35. Widely considered one of the best fights in WEC history, Miura gave Condit a run for his money in an all-action affair before he was eventually stopped with punches.

That sucks. I remember his fight with Condit. That was of the best displays of MMA judo ever, even though he ended up losing that fight.

 

[H41ph_84k3d]

That knockout of Blas, though. R.I.P. to both.

His title challenge against Condit is for me a classic. He gave one of the most entertaining performances. He was elite in the weight class and would have done well in the UFC I think

I refer others to this fight often.

RIP
